Pacers have traded this pick to the Spurs for George Hill sources say

[Chinook]

Bruh we couldve gotten brogdon. Feels bad

yeah. He was my guy in the draft along with Davis. Had the Spurs had something set up for Mills, swinging around to take Brogdon to replace him at the end of the first was my goal. That said, the Spurs drafted Murray for 2018-2019. If Dejounte is better than Brogdon then, it's all worth it. They weren't planning on letting either play right now.

[ElNono]

I will repeat. When Duncan retires, Parker is out the door.

Hoops Czar. lmao More like Hoops Peasant. Anyone who saw Leonard in college knew he had the potential to at least be a much better player than Hill...And this was a time where we sorely needed a player at that wing position.

What a ty take.

He is, but he's 24 already. Murray seems to have more potential.

Yeah, me thinks your not really crawling on the floor from a post made back in 2011 but hey, whatever floats your boat.

You were also trash every year you posted. Not just 2012.

[Hoops Czar]

Worst take in 35 pages filled with bad takes..

Congrats..You take the cake.

Still pales in comparison to this one.

what on earth would even possess someone to think tony would leave once duncan did?

i wish he had been right though.

It's all good scrah... but @ package deal...

[gambit1990]

and what if Duncan doesn't retire for 2 or 3 more seasons?

Question... What's compelling Duncan to stay? Why should he add more wear and tear on his body and continue to struggle through the season when the Spurs aren't going to contend?

[Hoops Czar]

No problem. As you should recall, there were prominent posters in Spurstalk unlike myself that were predicting Duncan's demise for a couple of years prior to that post. It was around that time Parker himself said the Spurs were no longer contenders so it stands to reason that if a move was going to be made to prepare for the future and life after Duncan, Parker was likely the one to be traded because he would bring back the most in return. The package deal metaphorically speaking was to rebuild for the future. I mean, what's the good in keeping a regular season stat padder, a perennial playoff choker and a wife stealer on the roster if the franchise retires, the Spurs are no longer contenders and the player in his prime can net a package that includes lottery pick in return?

lol... frankly, the league has changed so much since then... 3/4 of the league is tanking, and there's only 3-4 teams really vying for the championship. Glad the Spurs are still one of them.

Yeah, he's the same age as Hill when he was traded.

I was hoping for this dude.
The dude himself wanted to be a Spur

[MaNu4Tres]

Some serious back peddling in this thread. Lol

The trade absolutely made sense at the time, I remember me and objective hoping this trade happened weeks before the draft. Hill was redundant and due for a raise, Spurs replenished the program with not only a brand new rookie contract, but Kawhi Leonard, an athletic long defensive wing they desperately needed -- who had tremendous intangibles ( team had no size at the wing at the time).

Overpaying for redundancy or overpaying for a back up never makes sense when you have quality cheap depth behind the back up or quality depth with a high ceiling ( Spurs had Neal/ Anderson at the time, now they'll have Murray/ Forbes). Thats why I think Mills will be let go this next summer.

Really? Wasnt keen on followinf the offseason outside of TDs retirement

He went to my alma mater. I watched him a lot and really wanted the Spurs to draft him in the first. Very Spursy guy. Just before the draft I posted an article from the Charlottesville paper downstairs in his draft prospect thread - kind of like a mini-DRob in his intangibles.

Yeah, I hoped Spurs will pick up him, rather another euro stash trash. He was leader of great team, defensive minded, good vision, good three shooting. Perfect fit for Spurs, but then, quite possible Murray`s upside was too much to pass.

Can`t google article where he said, he wanted to join Spurs.

Imagine that Hill was traded for guy who was suppose to help on defense and with rebounding.

Mills will be let go this summer, if some one pays him over 10mil per season. He`ll stay, if he`ll give discount, like Danny Green did. Spurs wanted to pay their guys, but can`t go deep into tax.

If I can remember correctly, Brogdon's desire to be a Spur was mentioned in a tweet, not an article.

I'm still not sure what RC saw in Murray to pick him over Brogdon. The former never displayed the BBIQ, efficiency and defensive ability of the latter. Presently, Brogdon is touted as one of the best rookies in his class and the absolute steal of the draft. And in his second start for the Bucks, he's notched up his first triple double.

Frankly, I think RC ed up big time by passing on Brogdon.
